Over the course of the year I will sometimes be utilizing this blog to teach you new information, and provide an opportunity to engage each other in conversation outside of the classroom.  Right now, I just want to make sure everything is working correctly.  So each of you needs to respond in the comments section of this post by presenting one of your favorite quotes.  This time, you don't need to do any analysis.  Just type your quote and indicate what book it came from and who wrote it.  Take a little time to see what your peers selected.  Feel free to write a reply to anyone who posts a quote you love as well.  Better yet, go and find them and talk about it in person.
